Calaveras County Fair & Frog Jump Jubilee's Focus on Family Fun a Success!
Frogtown, CA..The numbers are still coming in but we just spoke with Fair CEO Laurie Giannini and it looks like just under 38,000 paying customers came through the turnstiles this year. In what was a transition year away from a State Subsidized operation to one that was locally driven, pay as you go it bodes well for the future. With the focus on family community driven fun and activities and away from high priced entertainment draws there was lots of breath holding to see how the numbers would hold up...
While down a few thousand from last year's reported numbers it is hoped that once all of the beans have been counted it may prove a more profitable fair and frog jump.
Many people we spoke with mentioned how friendly the crowds were. The Sheriff's Department personnel on hand did'nt have much to do either at Frogtown or up in Murphys where all the bikers were over the weekend.
If the goal was to make a clean and complete transition into a new community driven era for the the Calaveras County Fair and Frog Jump Jubilee then I thing management and the fair board should give themselves a big pat on the back.
We still have lots of photos and video to post of this year's event.
